Richard's narrowed eyes showed no emotion as he watched Pearl walk away.

Pearl followed Esther's directions and made her way to where Esther was located.

Esther was engrossed in discussing her script with the director when she noticed Pearl's arrival. Her eyes lit up, but she couldn't approach Pearl since

the director was present. She subtly signaled for Pearl to make herself comfortable.

Pearl found an empty seat and decided to take a look at the script, which was nearby. As she flipped through the pages, she found it quite interesting,

clearly the work of a skilled writer.

It seemed like Clem was good at his work. She continued to peruse more pages and cacross a familiar nin the list of cast members.

It was Winona.

Furthermore, Winona had a significant role as the second female lead. She might have invested in the film and was here to experience what it felt like

to be an actress.

Pearl frowned, realizing why Richard was here.

"Rick, could you helpopen this bottle? | can't do it," a voice chimed in.

"Mm, okay."

A familiar and sickeningly sweet voice sounded. Pearl turned to look and saw them sitting closely together.

Richard reluctantly unscrewed the bottle, and when he sensed an intense gaze upon him, he looked up with a scrutinizing expression.

When Pearl's eyes met Richard's, she immediately turned away.

"Rick, what's wrong? What are you looking at?" Winona beccurious when she noticed Richard's distracted expression.

She followed his gaze and saw Pearl sitting sdistance away.

Winona couldn't help but wonder why Pearl was here again, her good mood quickly vanishing. In an attempt to gauge Richard's feelings, she asked,

"Rick, isn't that Pearl over there? Do you want to go and say hello?"

She posed the question with both curiosity and a hidden agenda, eager to find out why Pearl was present. She also wanted to see how much Richard

still cared about Pearl. After all, Richard seemed reluctant to let Pearl go.

Richard turned to Winona, his voice icy as he replied, "I'm not close to her. There's no need to say hello."

Winona muttered, "But you were staring—"

Richard calmly interjected, "I was lost in thought."

Winona couldn't tell if he was telling the truth.

Once Richard left for the restroom, she strolled over to Pearl. "It's been a while, Pearl.”

On the surface, Winona was attempting to greet Pearl, but her ulterior motives were evident. Pearl sensed this and kept her responses brief, as she

had no desire to chat with Winona. "I'm here to see my friend."

Winona smiled. "What kind of friend? Care to introduce us?"

Pearl rolled her eyes, unimpressed by Winona's attitude. She wondered if Winona thought her cutesy act was endearing. Without holding back, Pearl

retorted, "Don't you have friends?"

Winona had expected various responses, but she was taken aback by Pearl's retort. She had aimed to belittle Pearl for being petty if she refused to

introduce her. However, Pearl's response left Winona flustered. It was as if Pearl had indirectly implied that Winona had no friends.

Winona's face turned livid. "I cover to greet you nicely, Pearl. Why would you say something like that?"
